Metanoia (Change of heart)

CH. 3- Confession

King's POV

I looked at little Gray with eyes narrowed. He looks quite stunning with his outfit tonight: a polo shirt with black collar design with grey thin linings and a crimson skinny jeans hugging his legs tightly.

"you ready little gray?" I asked with a soft tone.

"mmm I think so.. " he chuckled with a sparkly eyes.

I began navigating my car and rushed through the street.

"Where are we going?" he mumbled.
"Somewhere special..and with no other people except us" I winked at him noticing his cheeks blushing with pink.

The place is quite far from Gray's place so while driving, some moments were flashing back at my memory. I could remember how Gray's dark brown eyes met mine at the hallway at the school. I could still recall the sudden feeling of attraction it brought to me while passing across him. I could smell his fragrance as sweet as of baby.

"Would you mind if I turned on the radio?" he's voice broke the loud silence. "Go ahead" I replied with a smirk.

Demi Lovato's rendition of "Don't forget" reverberating inside the car.

***
Did you forget
That I was even alive?
Did you forget
Everything we ever had?
Did you forget?
Did you forget
About me?

Did you regret (did you regret)
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget (did you forget)
What we were feeling inside?
Now I'm left to forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand?
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget
***

I was quite saddened by the song's lyrics and couldn't control my tears from shedding. As I looked at Gray at the corners of my eye, I could see his tears flowing profusely down his cheeks. "Are you alright?" I asked sincerely.

"mmm. Yeah" He wiped his tears with his black hanky. "I just remembered someone from the past" he added.

"And who was that someone that made you shed a tear? Is he that special? " I curiously asked with a concern look.

"ahmm. My girlfriend....... " silence occured for a minute.
"but she leaved me behind and love someone else for some reason I don't know". He cried hardly staring down on his lap.

"I loved her so much that I could waste my life for her goodness and sake but that all were just taken for granted" my heart shattered into pieces as I eyed my little Gray sniffling and crying.

"Do you love her still?" I muttered.
"I don't think so" He replied. "I get over it".

I was hurt a bit looking at Gray's sad expression and was hurt more knowing that he had a girlfriend who was the reason for the pain present in his heart. But wait.... Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel what he felt just a minute ago? Is it I'm falling for him?

I face the street and continue driving heading to our destination. I can see we are almost near to it.
"It's okay" I said with a low voice.

After half an hour, we finally touched down to the place where there was a lake with sparkly water. There was a small billet floating on it with a floating bridge connecting to the land verge.

We got out of the car and I dragged Gray at the wrist heading to the billet. My cheeks were warm and blushing as he gripped my hand so tight.

As we stepped on the bridge, there were fireflies dancing through the air creating a magical glow of light at the sky. The kois were as well dancing underneath the waters of the lake and the wind seems blowing so hard having me goosebumps and quiver in a good way.

"woow! " he gasped with mouth open. I just smirked at his reaction knowing that he loves staying where we now. He looked relieved a bit, credits to mother nature.

The place is quite romantic, so perfect reinforcing my guts to confess what I really feel for Gray. I hope he'll reciprocate my affection for him.

"uhmm. Little gray?" I asked escorting him inside the billet. "Yes you're majesty?" he replied so nice that makes me want to hug him tightly.

"I just wanna say something" I stared directly at his sparkly eyes holding his right hand.
"I know it's weired but........... " I was about to confess the feelings I have for him but suddenly he blocked his another hand on my mouth and said......

"I love you" Gray said softly making my eyes opened so wide in shock. "I love you King with all my heart and soul. I'll do anything to make you happy and stay long at my side forever" I looked at him straight to the eyes and I could see the sincerity coming out from it.

I wanna surprise him but he actually surprised me before I do. "Back when I saw you that time at school with your most lovely smile, I was filled with some emotions I couldn't explain. I don't know everytime I see you, my world slows down and I cannot make a single move" He added with a soft tone.

"I was afraid the whole time to the thought that you might reject me if I confess." He uttered with his eyes on the ground. "But now, my heart is telling me to do so before it's too late."

I was touched so much as he spoke those words at me with extreme care and affection.
"I love you too little Gray" I muttered while cupping his chin so he could face me steadily.

I could see the sign of shock he has in his eyes. " w-w-what???" he stuttered.

"I wanna confess my feelings I have for you lately when I said I want to say somethin...'. I muttered staring at his eyes. "..but you did some interruption of that confession of yours. However, I am very happy to know that this ain't a one-sided love I have for you. I love you so much Gray. " I embraced him so tight feeling the warmth his body has.

He pushed my body back and snuggled his face so close until his lips met mine. I shivered yet feel safe in his company.

He stepped back with a blush on his cheeks. "I love you King". He said and kissed me again.

I can't believe that the one I love is kissing me right now in my favorite place where I sweared when I was a kid to take someone that I love in here.

I backed off smiling. "little gray?? " I asked.
"Yes?" he replied nicely.
"Can you be my boyfriend??" I said blushing.
"I love you and you love me too. We kissed and we hugged..........and now you're asking me that question with an obvious answer??" he mumbled. "of course yes! I'm yours now!" he chuckled and kissed me on my cheek.
